Akaishi and Badr ( Part 1 )

Akaishi, it's the name my mother bestows on me, I'm a girl, a Japanese one, I am the child of the Tenbatsu clan's leader, that prideful household that holds a lot of power and influence in the Hidden Realm, also in the Human World, they are respected by every faction, being the child of their household, you might assume that I will have special care and treatment, but the truth is I am the illegitimate child, just trash, annoying existence that they want to keep it secret, they wouldn't hate or care if I died, but they are afraid of the fact that the world would know about my presence, so they decided to exile me to the far east part of the Hidden Realm since the faction they engage with have complete control over that region. I'm currently residing there, me and mother Yamiko Yasihi, she's a gentle and a shy mother, dark brown eyes, long black hair with golden ends and white milky skin, she's a beautiful woman, she may look young but she's 32 years old, I'm 16 by the way, I inherit her look, people often mistake us for being sisters, that's pretty embarrassing, anyway, today I'm going to find transport for running away from father's bodyguards, my aim is escaping from the captivity that the clan set us in, I want to live freely, with no worries with my mother, to do this I need the power to destroy anything that holds me back, for this purpose, I asked my father for teaching and training me...

"My lord, the report that you asked about it's here, also that shameful existence is waiting for you out there, it's been four days since she came here, what should we do?!?"

"The report that I request send it to me in my room, and about her, bring her to my room with the report."

"Yes, my liege, right away."

moments later.

*knock knock*

"Came in"

I entered the room which my father use for reading.

I sit down and bowed to him while saying :

"Father, please teach this sinful being the clan's fighting skills!!!"

He laughs and then says :

"For God's sake, give me one reason, which can make me accept your demand. If you can answer this question, I will train you to be the second heir of the house, but if you fail, you will be abandoned by me, you will live in poverty, you and your mother!!!"

I hesitate for a moment but I must tell my father about my plans for living alone with my mother.

"Did you decide to take this gamble?" While smirking.

Alright, Akaishi, this is no time to dither, I must get a hold of myself or my dream will end before it starts.

"I'm willing to take the risk, father!!!"

a silent moment, then I saw his face.

"Impressive, you answered the question quickly and calmly..."

Is it me or father just smile.

My face becomes red, the fact that he smiled at this lowly being, the shame of the household, I don't know why he would...

*hic hic*

*hic*

I try to hold my tears, but I can't, for the fact that this is the first time he praises me, that something I desired so long, I can't look at his face in this state... then he put his hand over my hand, and pat it...

"Akaishi...my poor child, I know you endure it long enough, cry my little girl, cry..."

He hugged me tightly, my father's arms grab me, I can feel his heart pounding fast, I look at his face, he's embarrassed, I didn't know that the strongest Tenbatsu's leader of all the time can make such a face, I giggled, then put my face in my father's chest.

Later on, I get a grip on my emotion so my father did, and then he says :

"Akaishi, I must confess something that nobody knows, it was kept a secret from everyone, even from Yamiko..."

My father's expression becomes dark.

"What is it, father?"

"Th...the reason why you were born is related to this..."

"W-What do you mean by it?"

I'm curious about this secret.

"You are not the illegitimate child you are the true heir of this clan..."

Whaaaaattt, that impossible, I can't believe it, for me to be the heir of the Eastern Emperor, no, there is something wrong...but his expression is serious, then that means I'm...

"Listen, Akaishi, I know you wouldn't believe it, but have you ever wondered, why you and your mother were kept away from everyone eyes, did you think, I was afraid of the fact that I had a child from other women, no, that's not the case, your mother Yamiko Yasihi is not an ordinary person, she's the last member of the Vershina Hunter household..."

"I don't know about this, but what it's Vershina Hunter ?"

it's a familiar name, I remember my mother told me about this one time, but I didn't give it much attention...

"The Vershina Hunter household is an ancient clan, that had a lot of powerful members, they're estimated to be on par with Supreme Class individuals, they were a mystery for Hidden World for ages until they killed each other, no one escaped from the fight, the Alliance with the 72 pillars and various worldwide factions combined with the Evil Hierarchy tried to destroy and put an end to the hell which Vershina Hunter commenced, you can say that the battle against them was kept secret for many years, anyway you and Yamiko are the only known members that survived..."

A lot of things were raging in my head, for the fact that I am the heir, being a survivor of a clan that started an all-out war against themselves, mother kept that past deep down, for protecting me.

"I-I loved your mother since the first time I meet her, she asked for help when I was going to kill her, so I let her live and bring with me because I pitied, but I didn't expect that one day we will have a child, I was happy and sad when she told me she's pregnant...Well, I was wild back then, I regret using her to fulfill my lust, I asked for her forgiveness, I tried to be a better father by marrying her, but it was too late for that..."

My father stops talking about it, then he put his forehead on mine.

"Father... what are you doing ?"

"I prepare you for a Journey."

"Remember when I told that the whole doesn't know about you, it seems that it's no longer the case, I received a report which contains information about a leak from our side, the next three days will be hard for me and your mother, they will know the truth about Yamiko, the Alliance will demand an investigation about this, the higher up will ask for execution for both of you."

"Wait, father, what do you mean by execution, please dad answer me, yyooou kidding with me, right ???"

"Akaishi there is no time for this you need to run away, your mother will stay here."

"What ? Noo, mother will come with me !!"

"Your mother asked me for staying here, she decides that she will be the scapegoat for you !"

"You l... If mother stays here, she will be dead, father please I beg you, make her change her decision, please !!!"

"I can't, I tried so hard, but she's right about it, if she leaves, both of you won't be safe, but if she stayed here and didn't try to run, we will be able to save you..."

"B-but..."

"Daughter, your mother won't die if you listen to me."

That was good news.
